In Slamming three performers take us on a three-headed, six-armed, collective effort, driven by adrenaline and drenched in sweat, rage and tenderness.
They keep rearranging their moves, losing and finding each other, while constantly following the composer Giorgios Poulios’ sound image deep down into the depth of that feeling at a concert which is so absolutely alive and completely speechless.
